with a confidence that they will not only
be more necessary than last year but
more successful. Lest year business
men. manufacturers and others were ex-
tremely anxious to secure business and
whitfield down margins esp, cially dur
ing the eight months Of the year for that
parpose This year prices are advanc-
ing, manufacturers establishments are
largely oversold. material is hard to get
promptly. and consumers Of all kinds of
material are willing to carry larger
stocks than last year, because of the
certainty of selling. These conditions
have transformed the whole business sit
uation Yet there are indications that
strong combinations will be necessary to
prevent a renewal of the cutting compe-
tition which reduced msrg,As and profits
last year to very low poiut. No doubt
there will be as many failures this year
Ms last and that the number of ten theu-
sand including only those doing bust
ness with a capital of over $1,000 vii,
be reached.
